Abstract: We study the subelliptic heat kernels of the CR three dimensional solvable Lie groups. We first classify all left-invariant sub-Riemannian structures on three dimensional solvable Lie groups and obtain representations of these groups. We give expressions for the heat kernels on these groups and obtain heat semigroup gradient bounds using a new type of curvature-dimension inequality.

Review text

Let \(G\) be a Lie group with a left-invariant distribution \(H\subset TG,\) and with a left-invariant inner product \(g\) on \(H\). If \(H\) satisfies the Hörmander condition (that iterated Lie brackets of \(H_e\) generate the Lie algebra of \(G\)), then this data determines a sub-Riemannian structure on \(G\). In this paper it is assumed that \(\dim G=3, \dim H=2,\) and \(G\) is solvable. After recalling the classification of all such sub-Riemannian structures, the authors compute explicitly the subelliptic heat kernel and heat semigroup, in a case-by-case fashion. They also obtain heat semigroup gradient bounds via a new curvature-dimension inequality.
